A Riverside Oasis

Island Safari Lodge is set on a 300 acre private island reserve, just 10 km from Maun Airport.

Situated on the banks of the Thamalakane River under a canopy of beautifully lush and green Okavango trees, the lodge overlooks an expansive natural floodplain which, when not flooded, is used by the community as subsistence lands for farming and grazing.

This coming together of two worlds combines the traditional uses of the nearby cultural urbanisation and an abundance of birdlife, topped by the occasional sightings of crocodile or hippo.

The lodge offers a tranquil bush setting, complimented by the river view, a swimming pool and the iconic call of the African fish eagle.

The Restaurant

Relaxing Riverside Dining

The lodge has its own restaurant and well stocked bar, offering guests a convenient, friendly and efficient dining experience.

It is an ideal place to relax alongside the flowing waters of the river, or beside one of the swimming pools, using the free wi-fi and sipping a refreshing beverage from the bar.

Meals can be taken indoors, on tables overlooking the river or out in the leafy gardens. At the fire pit, sit around the roaring camp fire, meet new friends and share stories of the day's adventures.

The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and you can select from the à la carte or buffet menu.
